PVCs: Premature ventricular contractions (PVCs) are heartbeats that start from the muscle of the ventricles, rather than from the usual cardiac conduction tissue. PVCs are early in the beat-beat cycle and typically followed by a compensatory pause. The sensation of a PVC may come from the next beat, which is extra-forceful because of that pause. This sensation may be more noticeable in certain positions
